Security operations

What is security operations (SecOps)?

Security operations (SecOps) is the mechanism by which an organization protects its data and its people from cybersecurity incidents. Here’s what that looks like.

What is managed detection and response
(MDR)?

MDR is a cybersecurity solution that goes beyond basic monitoring, actively hunting and neutralizing threats before they can disrupt your business.

What is a SIEM?

Security information and event management (SIEM) is a software solution that helps you detect cybersecurity threats, manage security incidents by collecting and analyzing security events, and supports compliance and auditing requirements. It is often a primary tool used by the security operations center (SOC) team.

What is XDR?

Extended detection and response (XDR) is a cybersecurity technology that ingests data from multiple security layers, including servers, endpoints, cloud workloads, networks, email, and users.

MSSP vs. MDR

Deploying security solutions within your environment is not the only way to protect against threats and improve your cybersecurity posture. Two popular options are managed detection and response (MDR) services and managed security services providers (MSSPs).

What is an MSSP?

A managed security service provider (MSSP) provides a range of monitoring and management services for an organization's networks, security devices, and security systems.
